Very cool idea.....I actually think (idealistically) something cheap, and durable as this seems to be COULD help a bit with the obesity problems we have in the States especially....some people may not be able to afford a standard bike but for 20 bucks? thats 2-3 trips to McDonalds so there isn't even a financial burden to this....hopefully this takes off but sadly I doubt it will b/c of public perception

That's interesting...I'd buy one just to say I have it. Not sure about riding it around West Philly though...I'd get a few looks to say the least, and even worse actually might get the ************ stolen running into a corner store real quick.

EDIT: Read the article...even more fascinating than I thought. Apparently the material for the bike can be submerged in wa--you know what, if you didn't check it out, you don't deserve to know.

Anyway, this could potentially change a lot. I dig it.
